Andy Hamilton is a genius a thousand times

@stephenhall8932 Год назад

Briefly met Andy at one of his book launches with my son. Really great and funny. He willingly gave of his time talking to my son who was off to Uni. Great bloke! Postscript: his words of advice helped my son enormously.

@helenl3193 Год назад

Oh, that's wonderful! You always hope people will be as lovely as they seem, but to take the time like that is so above and beyond the usual celebrity niceties. What a top bloke he is! ❤

This man is constantly one of HIGFY's best guests

He’s brilliant on the Infinite Monkey Cage podcast too

Loved, still love Harrys Game.

@driftwood1906 Год назад

Week Ending was a great weekly treat. So was Drop the Dead Donkey.

@frankbrodie5168 Год назад

Good Lord.. Who Dares Wins & Drop The Dead Donkey are golden comedy memories for me. Andy has a fantastic comedy pedigree and has written some of my favourite shows of the last 40 years.

@hometruths9411 Год назад

Two very pleasant people to listen to.

@derekblack8189 Год назад

Andy's writing for 'Old Harrys Game' on BBC iPlayer was excellent.

@johnbarrett5268 Год назад

Andy is a legend

@michaelkay1508 Год назад

Back in student days I had the pleasure of doing lighting for the CULES shows in which Andy starred - I remember the Tarzan sketch well. He could handle any audience including prisoners. A great guy and I was so pleased when he emerged from the back office to appear on our screens.

Love Andy Hamilton

@shauncooper9942 Год назад

Very pleasant and entertaining to watch by two affectionately adored comic heroes!

@47Suggs Год назад

So looking forward to the stage version of Drop the Dead Donkey next year. Genius writer.

@Alex-cw3rz Год назад

Yeah need Andy back on I want to here everything about Outnumbered such a great show!

@davidevans3227 Год назад

oh for the days when four pounds pay was good 🙂 thankyou for sharing this.. now to hear the longer version..

@pinkgoddess Год назад

As always thank you for this. Can’t do podcasts so this channel is gold 😊

@douglasmelvin Год назад

Used to play football at Holland Park with Andy guy Jenkins and lindy oldroydabout 40 years ago really lovely people really fun people with great sense of humour

@DeathlyTired Год назад

Top bloke.

@khar12d8 Год назад

The story about the impersonator could be a film or a play.

@danieladams9950 Год назад

Hamilton caustic king for over 30 years. Noteworthy: everything anyone ever said about Geoffrey Perkins was affectionate.

@D_Rogers Год назад

I was rewatching 'Drop The Dead Donkey' recently (for the first time in ages). I knew Andy co-wrote it, but was surprised to hear his voice as the off-screen character Gerry, the hapless and doomed cameraman.... It was a great show, hopefully their return to the world of news will be entertaining! :) (I hope the stage show makes it to video for us foreigners to see)

@frankbrodie5168 Год назад

Yeah I watch DTDD all the way through every few years or so. And it took me a few reruns of it to pick up on Andy's voice as Damien's fall guy cameraman. lol

@marmoset3 Год назад

I have all episodes of Shelley on DVD and often re-watch them.

@leadoucet1432 Год назад

That flew by! I'm not familiar with his work except for the little I've seen on QI, but this interview was very interesting. Off to look him up now. Thank you for introducing me to another funny Brit. Is there no end to them? Lol

@LiberArchivum Год назад

Give him a try on the radio panel shows, he's good quite there (News Quiz, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, also TV's Have I got News For You)

@edwardsp1916 Год назад

Old Harry's Game and Revolting People

@leadoucet1432 Год назад

Thank you everyone! Will give a look at them all.

@petersvillage7447 Год назад

@@leadoucet1432 There's a good chance you know his writing, because he's been behind huge swathes of British comedy over the years - including shows like Drop the Dead Donkey and Outnumbered. He's a great performer too, but most of that work has been on radio - of which the greatest is Old Harry's Game, well worth tracking down...

@ianking1967 Год назад

Another great interview

@bowdencable7094 Год назад

Not on topic, but Rob, the gasp that I gasped realizing it was you in the Barbie movie! Absolutely delightful. Hope Sugar is doing her very best 🤣🤣.

Yes Bryn

@robpollard7135 Год назад

Love this guy

@FranMSK 4 месяца назад

I'd love a new series of Old Harrys Game - it was such a gem that show. The characters were so brilliant and it was so smart.

@loratadine921 22 дня назад

Andy's story about his impersonator is an absolute gob-smacker!

@harrycally2565 Год назад

That Wi-Fi joke is pure gold

@frankbrodie5168 Год назад

Aye, that bit made me laugh. Barry Cryer is another of the UK's most prolific comedy writers.

@timfireblade 2 месяца назад

If you haven’t listened to Barry Cryer’s podcast Now, Where Were We? You should, it’s pure gold. Sadly there weren’t more of them.

@vickywitton1008 Год назад

I do wanted to go and see him but I had already booked my holiday!

@thisiszaphod Год назад

The end joke was told on ISIHAC - in which Rob and Andy were absolutely brilliant.

@adamwhite1821 10 месяцев назад

My dad went to Westminster City School (the comprehensive, not the private school) and he Andy Hamilton was a few years above him. He always used to say what he remembered most about him was that his nickname amongst the other kids was 'Don't take the piss' as that was his response to all the kids relentlessly mocking his stature. I wish I could make contact with Andy to confirm, even though he may not enjoy the memory 😅

@apache16789 Год назад

Love to go and see an Andy Hamilton show, but how can I be sure it's really him and not some high-grade imposter? I do not want to be scammed out of a ton of my hard-earned spondulicks.

@davidevans3227 Год назад

what a bizarre story!

@evemhughes 7 месяцев назад

Old Harry's Game is sublime

@gordon861 Год назад

WTF, heard Drop the Dead Donkey was coming back, and then he pulled the carpet away and it's on stage ... we want a new series!

@scottgordon1781 Год назад

Hmm interesting :-) In 70/71 I was getting 5 quid a week in a vac job as a dustman in Solihull .

Jeffery Perkins... R.I.P.

@jenkinseric2 Год назад

Loved the wifi joke Eric in Canada

@AlecMacarthur 2 месяца назад

How Old Harry’s Game isn’t 3 tv series, 4 films, and updated remakes on Netflix is a complete mystery to me.

@samyakjainjss Год назад

I wish you would have asked him about Fisher.

@super8blog71 Год назад

I seem to remember Shelly always having a dig at Andrew Lloyd Webber. Wonder if those were Andy's episodes? The story of the guy passing himself off as Andy was fascinating. There's a documentary in that. Call it 'Finding Andy'

@DennisNelson-ee2il Год назад

I have always been of the opinion that writing comedy is the hardest thing to do,more so than drama.

@ianclarke3627 Год назад

Well , the impersonator story needs to be written .

@lukerapsey3773 Год назад

June and July are still very disappointing lol

@robertgannon-cx2mm Год назад

At the risk of being accused of being a pedant, and rightly so. Polmont is near Falkirk, not Glasgow.

@frankhall401 Год назад

Is the episode of the Simpsons where they constantly refer to a kid called Andy Hamilton about him or is it a really weird coincidence. They always use both names throughout and he ends up writing material for Krusty. The character is voiced by Jonah Hill

I'm here first!

@David-pt8ge Год назад

He's a star? Thanks for the update.

@UncleBenavision Год назад

Yes. He created and wrote 'Drop the Dead Donkey' which is one of the best comedy series ever. He has written for Not the Nine O'clock News, Smith & Jones, Les Dawson, and the Two Ronnies (amongst many others). He makes numerous and very witty appearances on shows such as Have I Got News for You, and QI, and has acted, directed and produced many tv shows.

@tiredrich Год назад

@@UncleBenavision Also Outnumbered

@David-pt8ge Год назад

@@UncleBenavision So why is he is Star, when no other writer of a sitcom is? And being a panelist on HIGNFY does not make you a star. I like the chap, he is very funny and talented. I don't think Brydon himself is a star. Sorry. Genuinely not trolliing.

@UncleBenavision Год назад

@@David-pt8ge Well 'Star' obviously means different things to different people. Sorry, I thought you were dismissing him and his achievements.

@Elwaves2925 Год назад

@@David-pt8ge I wouldn't use 'star' myself, to describe him or a lot of people but it's basically another way of saying famous, well known and so on. Often someone who is known outside of the thing that made them well known. When people say their name, you know who it is without being told what they are well known for. As you like him, I'll assume I don't need to tell you why he's famous and well known. Also there are others, not many but they are there. Steven Moffat is a (former) sitcom writer but also well known outside of that.
